Act 1, Scene 1, cont.
Enter several muggle police and wizards and witches, who join the fray; then enter muggle citizens, who scream and yell at both sides
MUGGLES
Defend, come all Britons! strike! beat them down, the rioters!
Down with the police! down with the Aurors!
Enter LUCIUS MALFOY and NARCISSA MALFOY, hearing the fighting.
LUCIUS MALFOY
What noise is this? Give me my assault rifle, ho!
NARCISSA MALFOY
You have no business going out there! Why call you for a rifle?
LUCIUS MALFOY
I need a firearm, I say! Guards get ready! James Potter, himself is coming,
And flourishes his wand in spite of my title!
Enter JAMES POTTER and LILY POTTER, restraining her husband
JAMES POTTER
I received a Patronus from my Aurors. Those villain police, starting trouble --Hold me not, let me go!
LILY POTTER
Thou shalt not stir a foot to seek a foe.
Enter PRINCE KINGSLEY, with wizard and muggle guards
PRINCE
Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of these quiet streets!
Will thou not hear? What, ho! you men, you beasts,
Quench that fire of your pernicious rage!
On pain of death, for those bloody hands
Throw your mistemper'd weapons to the ground!
Fighting stops.
Now hear the sentence of your prince and minister.
Three riots between Aurors and the police, bred of a small insult,
By your men, Prime Minister Malfoy,
and thee, Head of the Aurors James Potter,
Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,
And made London's citizens part of your never-ending war!
Innocents suffer from this fighting and skirmishes,
A misspelled curse... a ricochet of a firearm,
You are haters peace, and refuse to part with your canker'd hate:
If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
For now, everyone disperse, but,
You, Minister Malfoy; shall come along with me to Downing Street
And, Auror Potter, come you to my office this afternoon at the Ministry,
